[Verse]
Dear dad, you can take your name
It’s just a cruel ghost haunting an old time frame
I’ve built my walls strong so they won’t crack
You can have that name, I will never look back
[Verse 2]
Dear Husband, here’s your name as well
It’s tied to lies, and betrayals I’ll never tell
The painful memories weigh like heavy Stones
I'm glad you're gone,
I'd rather be alone
[Chorus]
But,
dear love of my soul so loving and true
I’ve saved my heart just for you
Through the ashes of my past, I’ve found your light
With you my world is perfect and right
Perfect and right
I will gladly take your name and be your heavenly wife
[Verse 3]
The past is a shadow, just a flickering flame
I’m free from the shackles of those hateful names
Together in love, we've written our song
wrapped in words and melodies where we both belong
[Bridge]
Now, we can rewrite our story brand new
with every verse I will come back to you
The old scars remain but they no longer define
My heart is yours and you are mine
[Chorus]
But,
dear love of my soul so loving and true
I’ve saved my heart just for you
Through the ashes of my past, I’ve found your light
With you my world is perfect and right
Perfect and right
I will gladly take your name and be your heavenly wife
It will be perfect and right
It will be perfect and right
